Love your enthusiasm and your love for the car. Thanks. Going to build my 2022 this Tuesday 😎

It's actually a single twin scroll turbo inline 6. Awesome car. And yes,the color is awesome too. Great review.

An absolutely beautiful vehicle, thx for the vid

Love the color inside and out. Wish they had this spec in Australia.

That blue is a killer 🔥🔥🔥

This is the first review of yours I've watched as I just ordered an m340i in the US and thought I'd get your take. I appreciate your insights. That said, I'm glad you corrected your statement that this car has measurable performance enhancements compared to the "standard" m340i. I'm not sure why you found this car to "feel significantly stonger" and that "there is absolutely a noticeable difference with more punch and responsiveness..." Also, tire sidewall numbers are NOT the height in MM, rather the ratio of the sidewall to the width of the tire. This is a 2020, not a 2021. You can tell by the Start/Stop button which was dropped in 2021 with the addition of the 48V light hybrid.

Great color- wanted to add as a 2011 335 xdrive msport owner the next bmw I will own is this exactly one- certified used .. whe I had a loaner of a 2016 340 I was shocked how much faster and better felt besides steering than my e90 but truth is I love my e90 it has 65k miles now I found it with 9k miles owner it 5 years now and just a fun car and handles so amazing even with blown shocks I can’t wait to get the new bilateins on!

Good lord. BMW is by far the most beautiful automobile currently in production.

I'm a huge BMW fan. I own a 2020 X3 M40i which is a perfect SAV and I've owned a 435i and 335i. Not a fan of the light blue seats but I'm typically not a fan of multi-colored seats

very nice about to get one once my 550 lease expires perfect spec

Got mine delivered few days ago. Fully loaded, RWD portimao blue 2021 model. Coming from 2013 335i f30 , it's night and day.

There’s nothing like this BMW always out showing every time it’s just a matter of time before you see other car companies start to head in there direction

Had. No idea there was a blue interior 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Super drive. Bought new end of June 2021. Disaster though with a loose shelf type deep rattle at low speeds. After 3 weeks the BMW garage still cannot locate. Frustrating as hell as it’s a very distracting noise. £64k spec too imagine. My 1967 Ford Anglia never had such frustrating rattles. I know I should never have scrapped that one 🙁

Is Nardo grey an available color? I don’t see that as an option on the BMW website?

Does the M Performance Edition already come with the M Performance Exhaust? - How much is that upgrade at the dealership?

@4door.n549

The M Performance edition does come with the M performance exhaust. To put the M performance exhaust on a regular M340i would cost lots. I am not sure exact price but I’m guessing $2-4000 Canadian.

The only thing that kind of sucks about the MPE is that they were not equipped with driver assistance pro. No lane keep assist, lane change assist and no adaptive cruise control. At least they have adaptive suspension otherwise it would be a hard pass regardless how great nardo grey looks.

The Canadian options on this car are way better than the options available here in the United States. Not fair!

So the new m340i replace the 335i?

is this quicker than a Type R?

max speed 260? thats it for inline 6 M sports?

35 sidewall is % of width in mm. So a 255mm width tyre with 35% sidewall has a sidewall of 89mm.

What is the max speed on dis car?

The reviewed model must have been a prototype because it still has the auto start/stop button. M340i went mild hybrid in 2021 and lost the button to turn auto start/stop on or off. The exhaust tone on this particular one also sounds like a 2020 model year. The 2021 M340i sound completely different, far more muted with burbles and pops even with an M performance exhaust.

However the champagne color for the interior is 2nd in the running . The Artic race blue is more towards grey - that’s why I think it works . The bright blue exterior with red might be silly.

Don’t like the colour grey is so drab. Would go for blue. Wheels would look better if in grey or smoked. Love the blue interior though it seems to have been dropped from the configurator. The carbon roof, spoiler and interior trim option would be ace also. Trouble with the options, great as they are is that price quickly rises to the point where an Alpina 😍 is the same or close. Though I guess negotiating price on a BMW would be more fruitful than the same excessive on an Alpina. I have driven an M340i. It’s a great car and great to drive. Likely best in RWD format but that’s not available in UK only XDrive. To be fair I have driven an RWD 330i and the difference in steering etc isn’t huge but would still prefer it.

I think something is not right here... This looks to be the 2020 m340i and NOT the 2021 m340i. At 7:47 into the video we can see the Auto Start/Stop button which is not available in the 2021 model. I believe you also mention in the video that this is a 2020. Also, the 2021 model has a mild hybrid system which we should be able to see in the gauge cluster (if you had the 2021 version). Lastly, what is this "Performance Edition". I ordered the 2021 m340i almost 1 month ago (set to receive it in March) and I never heard of this special edition. BTW I also live in Canada.

Hi Francois, Thanks for the comment. It is in fact a 2021 model and the Performance Edition is a very limited run enhancing the M340i. You're right re: me accidentally saying 2020 instead of the correct 2021. Autumn sees the changeover of media fleet vehicles from previous years to the next year, so that was my error - my apologies. I received the spec sheet and had the embargo lifted three weeks ago. I'm not sure when your local BMW dealership (or if, yet) had any Performance Editions in stock or available. My guess is no as to why you hadn't heard of it or why they didn't mention it to you.

@@Modern.Motoring I do not want to be disrespectful here (I did enjoy your video and appreciate the work you have presented) but I have seen and driven a number of 2020 and 2021 m340is during my research before buying the 2021 and the unit you showed has all the signs of the 2020 edition. The differences between the two are subtle but still important. 2021 has a 48V mild hybrid system for smoother start/stops and better acceleration. It therefore removes the start/stop button which your model has in the video. The tuning is slightly different in the 2021 version making it significantly quieter out of the exhaust (very little pops or burbles) unlike the 2020 model.

@@francoisrouviere First off, I appreciate the kind words - thank you. I definitely believe you did more than your due diligence in researching what you purchased. I understand your points re: hybrid and start/stop. I'm not sure what else I can say/show to reflect that it's a 2021. I double checked with BMW Canada and they confirmed it's a 2021. If you have a few minutes, connect with the dealership you bought from and ask about the Performance Edition. I don't know how limited of a run it will be (whether it's a specific number of units for Canada and what the allocation is per province/region) or if it's available for only the 2021 model year, which would make it a highly limited run. I do appreciate you reaching out for clarification but more importantly, I appreciate the respectful manner you did it in...it means a lot.

Ya great video but I do agree with you to me it is more like a 2020 m340i. 2021's gauge cluster looks different in comfort mode and auto start/stop has been removed since hybrid engages in low speed when the engine is in the comfort setting. And it does sounds like 2020 instead of 2021 which is quieter. I think those are actually the only differences between those two model years (plus 2020 was built in German and 2021 in North America, VIN can tell that). HOWEVER, this could be a pre-production car? or something like that so those differences were not there. And this "performance edition" could be his local dealer's thing. If you go to the BMW Canada website's accessories for 3 series you can find every extra thing this "performance edition" has.

Approx 330hp on the 440 vs 384 or so on the m340 and the difference is not very noticeable. Harmon Kardon system, better on the 440. back seats, bit more head room in the m340 (being a sedan), leg room is the same. Exterior, better on the 440. Interior, dashboard on the m340 has a weird downward slope which makes it look like a shitty compact european car. Better interior colours on the 440.
